php vs xhtml

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Oct 08.2007

hi

i recently ran into a problem with the xml declaration in php. as i do use xhtml 1.1 it is required. now, i store my files as .php and there is some php code on top of each file normally.
now, if i add the line:

[code]<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”ISO-8859-1″?>[/code]

to the file, i get the error:

[code]Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/www/web283/html/php/disclaimer.php on line X[/code]

where X is the line where i added the xml declaration. any ideas why this happens? any help is greatly appreciated

thanks and take care

Erik

@WebnerdOct 08.2007 — Use Full PHP tags:

<?php

And turn of short_tags in php.ini or .htaccess file

php_flag short_open_tag Off

@NogDogOct 08.2007 — If you do not have access to turn off short_open_tag, then you can echo out the xml declaration in PHP mode:
[code=php]
<?php
echo "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?>n";
?>
<!-- rest of document follows... -->
[/code]

Success!
